You People has three more practices until its first show. It has three songs written. And as the band runs through a noisy punk track at its downtown practice space, the instruments fall out of sync, the song flies off the rails and drummer Anthony Schwader bursts out into nervous, hysterical laughter.

"You feel nervous and anticipation," Schwader says. "But I think those feelings are good feelings. You feel them when you do something new." | Jan. 31, 2013»Read Full Article(1)

Being one of the walking dead would be incredibly tedious, especially if you possessed self-awareness. For R (Nicholas Hoult), it means spending every day ambling around an airport with no idea how he ended up there or who he is. (He thinks his first name starts with R, but he isn't entirely sure.)

In the slightly unconventional romantic comedy "Warm Bodies," R is a zombie unsatisfied with his station in life. He can't sleep or dream and, outside of grunting, can't speak. To survive, he must feed on humans. The odds may be against him, but as he informs viewers in voice-over, R yearns for something more. | Jan. 31, 2013»Read Full Article

O.J. Simpson was charged with killing Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. "Schindler's List" won the Academy Award for best picture. "The Sign" by Ace of Base and "I Swear" by All-4-One were two of the year's biggest songs. Mark Zuckerberg turned 10. | Jan. 31, 2013»Read Full Article(1)

The already busy local hip-hop scene has just gotten a little more crowded. For full-length "Watch and Learn," Anthony "$killz" Kolstad spits fast rhymes, and gets a nice boost from Aderson "Lib" Gonzalez (who worked on Yo-Dot's "Red Mist," one of my favorite local albums last year.)

Casey Lewis, whose "Sad Packer Fan" video has been seen by more than 2 million people on YouTube, will appear in a Volkswagen ad during the Super Bowl.

The ad is a collage of clips of outbursts and meltdowns from various real-life people, to the tune of "Come On, Get Happy," the Partridge Family theme, as sung by reggae star Jimmy Cliff. | Jan. 31, 2013»Read Full Blog Post(7)
